An upgrade to Scummbox.

On Sunday (February 5th) I moved the /usr dir to a 40 gig drive. This gives web pages and user directories 26 gigs of free space as opposed to the 300 some-odd megs of space it had pre-upgrade.

The upgrade itself was painless… just ran the sysconfig to format, partition and label the new drive, mount it temporarily, copy the data over from /usr (with a myriad of switches), change the fstab file, reboot and voila! /usr is mounted on a 40 gig drive!

Many thanks to Lojack for pointing me in the right direction!
